1) Size does matter, but bigger isn't always better. For pocket devices, size is always a balancing act between portability and usability.
More importantly, size isn't everything. The iPhone 4 display outperforms the SGS3 in sharpness (both PPI, and crucially subpixels per inch), brightness, and colour accuracy. Can't beat those OLED black levels, though.
2) LTE is very nice. Not available in many regions or on certain carriers though, so a lot of people won't see the benefit.
3) You've got me here. Interesting to see Android moving away from SD cards, though. I understand there have always been issues with performance, managing which volume data gets stored on, and even security. The entire Nexus line is devoid of SD slots now.
4) Double RAM sounds nice, but since Android 4.x pretty much requires 512 MB just to be usable, this is more of a necessity than a perk.
5) Number of cores means not a goddamn thing. The CPU in the SGS3 gets jobs done about 20% faster than the 4S, while the GPU in the 4S is about 33% faster than the SGS3. Pretty comparable, I'd say.
6) I haven't seen any evidence of this. In fact, the SGS3 seems to get better battery life on 3G, edging out the 4S by 15 minutes in web browsing and a little over an extra hour of talk. The 4S bites back by getting an extra two hours of browsing on WiFi.
So yeah, iPhone 4S is actually pretty competitive with the SGS3.
